Well this is #blameitonlitsty - I only came across it playing #maymontage! This is glee / HSM becomes TV show that culminates in a disastrous live episode….then we pick up with those teen stars some years later as they begin to film a one off revival show (live). so full of twists it tangles. Also so, so OTT & yet it also a powerful comment on fame and the treatment of young would be stars. Sort of soapy but kind of loved! ⬇️

Itchyfeetreader This is the kind of book I struggle to review. It‘s not perfect. Not even close on plotting or even writing (there is a lot of ‘if only I knew‘ type content) . Yet it‘s also kind of perfect. Smart and witty with just the right valance of everything else 1y

Eggs Great choice 💙🤍🩵 1y

“She enjoyed people—she really did—she just needed to take them in homeopathic doses; a little of the poison was the cure.”

#MayMontage #InternationalJazzDay late to the party ! Fiction loosely based on the life of Bix Beiderbecke .This book now in print as a #NYRBclassic .When they made a movie of it , Hoagy Carmichael was in it . He wrote the beautiful song Stardust , & actually played gigs with Bix IRL.

Yellowface | Rebecca F. Kuang

#MayMontage Day 31: An ironic #NatlSmileDay with the missing mouth in this fascinating cover of RF Kuang‘s book. Bound to be my 5th Kuang novel for this year. Thrilled to finally get my hands on this one.
